UJF-7151 plus: disruptive technology replaces screenprinting
Making its U.S. debut at the SGIA Expo, the UJF-7151 printer is the next generation model in the world’s best selling UJF Series line. Its design and technologies enable sign, specialty graphics, and award and personalization companies to realize the benefits of digital printing with higher margins and lower production costs, without compromising quality. The winning combination of a UJF-7151 printer plus RasterLink6 RIP software is a complete package to produce unique, decorated goods or custom pieces that can open up new business opportunities for any size print service provider.

JV400SUV Series: brighter, faster, flexible UV printer
The JV400SUV Series – available in 54- and 64-inch models – combines the flexibility of solvent ink with the durability of UV cured inks. This unique chemistry results in smooth, glossy, scratch-resistant prints that simulate the appearance of being coated yet retain the color brightness expected from a solvent printer. This exclusive technology pins the UV ink droplets to the material surface, delivering higher quality images and high speed production, while the Mimaki cool LED curing technology facilitates distortion-free printing on heat-sensitive media including vinyl and films.
